COVID-19 and Sioux City Farmers Market Protocols

We believe that farmers markets provide vital food access services to our community, and we will continue to do so as safely as possible. The health, safety and overall wellbeing of our farmers market community is always our top priority. 

With this in mind, we have been closely monitoring the rapidly-changing situation around COVID-19 (commonly referred to as coronavirus), responding to new information as it arises and preparing for all possible scenarios, with the goal of farmer’s markets continuing to safely serve Siouxland communities. 

As the spread of COVID-19 has become a reality in Iowa, market operators are developing communications, preparing contingency plans and beginning to modify operations.

To help market operators adapt to this rapidly changing economic and public health situation, the Sioux City Farmers Market has compiled information and recommendations from farmers markets, state associations, health departments and the Centers for Disease Control. 

Farmers Markets Are Essential: Our open-air markets are important and necessary food outlets for community members from all economic backgrounds across Iowa to purchase healthy, fresh, nutritious food. 

Farmers Markets Allow You to Shop Direct: Shopping at our market means that you can purchase fresh, nutritious food from as close to the source as possible. 

Farmers Markets Support Our Region: Farmers markets are essential to the livelihood of farmers and food producers. Shopping at farmers markets means you are supporting your local economy, which is especially critical in this time of uncertainty.
